Original subtitles

You're late!

Well, I got here as fast as I could.

Well, the only reason I'm here

is 'cause you like this music.

Sarge caught me speeding. I had to... I had to shake him.

Come on.

Yeah!

Yeah, I know it's my mistake.

Look out, baby.

Watch it, buddy.

My god.

What'd you think, Donna?

Well, it's all right.

A little rowdy.

What are we gonna do tonight?

I thought we just did it.

Nah, we gotta do something else.

No, I can't.

My parents are gonna be mad if I'm late again.

Screw your parents.

Ok, let's go.

Hi.

Just cleaning it up for you.

Tell you what...

why don't you give me the last two tickets,

close this thing down, join me for a free movie.

I don't like saucer movies.

It's not a saucer movie.

It's a warning.

I don't like warnings, and I don't like you.

Yeah, you do.

No, I don't.

If you're not nice to me, I'm not gonna ask you out.

I don't want to go out with you!

See you later, darling.

The Nixer. Hurry up. Hurry up before he sees us.

Come on, he's catching up! Go!

Get the big part?

Hey, I nearly had her going.

Are you sure she didn't have you going?

Only below the belly button.

What?

Don't worry. I let it drain into my boots.

Y'all see that new Sci-Fi flick down the street?

Do we have to listen to this, dude?

It's the only point of view

in this graveyard I haven't heard.

This one was about people from outer space

who stole the souls of humans while they slept.

There was this one guy and this girl

trying to get out of the city of monster humans

to warn the world of what was happening.

How does it end?

His girl falls asleep and becomes one of them.

Is there a late show?

Yeah, I kept trying to tell him,

"bag the girl, man, bag the girl."

Because he had to go tell the world

one girl ain't worth the world.

Wait a minute.

What if he loved her?

What if that's what the world meant to him?

Yeah, if she meant the world to him,

he should stay with her, don't you think?

Fuck that.

I thought you were taking me out, dude.

We are out, honey. Look around.

Come on, darling.

Why don't you get out right here, Nixer?

We'll hang out later.

Hey, dude...

Look who's coming.

Hey, it's dude... the human anteater.

Looks like Sunday school let out a little early.

Look at his girlfriend.

What are you doing, dude, smuggling maids in from Mexico?

Cayate, Pendeja!

Speak Spanish to me. It turns me on.

You're just jealous 'cause I speak two languages.

You better stick to Spanish, 'cause your English bites.

You puta.

You're sure looking pretty tonight, sister Teresa.

I got a boner the size of your head.

Shut up, loser.

Hey, that's my sister, you little weasel.

I'll kill you.

Let's get out of here, dude.

Hey, stop! Her hair's on fire!

Her hair's on fire!

Put it out!

Where are we going next, dude?

This is really romantic.

Really romantic.

Take me home.

Yeah, take her home.

Come on, Donna.

Shit.

Hey, they fell out! Stop the car! They fell out!

Damn it!

I'm gonna get that dude.

Get out.

Kiss me good night.

Inside.

Your parents might be up.

Are you kidding? This place is dead.

Well, I guess not.

Right on time as usual, dude.

I brought you your newspaper early.

I guess I should've kissed you out here?

That's all right, Donna.

Y'all hold hands?

Hell, yeah.

Now you see?

You see how carefully she molds the bread to it?

Notice how the bread changes its texture.

Now, my own personal theory

is that it's partly the grease from the wienie,

and it is partly the sweet angel touch of her hands.

My mama's made these for me

every day since I joined the force.

Well, she taught me

to always carry an extra one in my pocket...

bless her heart...

in case I need a little pick-me-up to keep me going.

There you go.

Not yet!

I want you to just smell it.

You gotta learn to utilize more

than just your eyes and ears.

I show this to all my new partners.

Tricks of the trade.

That's the key.

Anybody'll tell you. You know the tricks,

you'll know the trade.

Now dig in.

Goddamn! That woman has got the best hands.

Yeah.

Put that in your shirt pocket.

Fuck you!

Hey.

Now, you pay attention to something here.

These kids ain't the same anymore,

and you know what's behind it all?

Rock 'n' roll.

That music is turning the kids into a bunch

of sex-hungry, beer drinking, road-racing werewolves.

There goes that dude!

Goddamn motherfucker!

What's all the hubbub, bub?

That was a hell of a stunt you pulled last night, dude.

Yeah, you boys should be more careful.

Somebody's likely to get hurt.

Don't you get smart with me, boy.

What's he been eating?

Hey, his mother made 'em for him, chump.

She cook in the barn?

Get out of the car.

Hands on the door.

You gotta be careful with these punks today.

They're all packing switchblades.

You carrying a switchblade today, punk?

You packing heat?

Why don't you check up on your own son?

Check his pockets.

Yeah, check 'em real good, junior.

Maybe you'll find some of them dog biscuits his mama made.

Hey, his mom does it 'specially for him.

I bet she does.

You know something?

One of these days, I'm gonna bust you real good.

Why not save us some time and do it right now?

Well, when I bust you, it's gonna be for something

that you can't walk away from

like the smiling little jackrabbit that you are.

You know, I'm so close to kicking your ass right now,

I can damn near taste it.

It's got a bit of a whang to it, don't it?

Now see, I could run you in almost anytime I feel like it,

but I figure... Jail is too good for a boy like you.

This is my town.

Nobody makes their own rules in my town.

You take care of yourself, kid, you hear?

He may look and sound like your uncle Charlie,

but it's not him.

Half the people in the town are aliens.

Half were about to be aliens.

They're all like zombies,

going through their normal routines,

but without any emotions.

What the hell you guys talking about?

Invasion of the body snatchers.

It's a movie, J.T.

Just shut up and cook, all right?

We're talking about a movie.

Shut up, punk, or I'll spit in your burger.

I wish you would.

Couldn't taste any worse, J.T.

What time's that show on?

Keep it up, Nixer.

9200, but it really starts at 9:10.

There's three trailers and a newsreel.

Well, you know, it ain't real.

It's just a movie.

You gotta see it.

Sorry, dude.

Hot damn!

J.T., could I get a refill?

You got... got a rag?

Yeah, I got 40 rags.

Give us 30 of them.

There. Just one.

I ain't touching that thing.

I guess you want a refill then.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind one.

Why don't you make it two?

Shut up.

Get the fuck outta my way.

Your burned my girlfriend's hair off, dude.

Now she's wearing a fucking wig!

She looks like an old lady!

I thought she was your old lady.

I'll tell you what... you bring her over here,

take off that wig, Daddy'll give her a free spit shine.

Hey!

You two can kill each other if you want to,

but you're not gonna do it in my joint, you understand?

Now cut that crap out...

Before I start carving me

some fresh meat patties around here.

Sit down, dude.

Sorry, J.T.

Tonight, at the bluff.

9:00.

The bluff?

Hey, buzz, that's dangerous up there.

Shut up, deep-ass!

No, remember, Teddy?

You've gotta take my sister roller skating at 9:00.

Fuck her!

Hey, man, you promised.

Payback for burning up her hair!

Roller skating, Teddy?

You have to be sure to check your skirt size at the door.

I'll be seeing you around... Dude.

You can bet on it.

Hello?

Hey, Donna.

Dudey.

Don't call me that.

Hey, listen, I'm sorry about last night.

I should've known they'd be up waiting.

Now they want to have you over for dinner.

Sorry. That's all right.

They just want to give their side of the story.

Get outta here.

When am I gonna see you again?

Want to go roller skating tonight?

You want to take me roller skating?

Why not?

Sure.

I just can't believe you want to go.

Well, of course, I do.

Anything for my Donna.

Pick me up at 8:00.

Let's make it 9:00.

Ok. Bye.

Damn it!

Can't you aim?

Haven't you ever had one of those days

where the stream just kinda splits in 2,

going on either side of the John, missing it completely?

Yeah, take care of it.

Little dab'll do ya.

Hell on wheels.

Finally.

It's all right, Julie. It looks ok.

Like hell it does.

Maybe it doesn't look all right.

Yah!

Julie's here.

Yeah. So's Teddy.

Ain't that something?

Coincidence?

I'm sorry, Donna.

Dude...

I thought you were taking me roller skating tonight.

We are roller skating.

Time for the couples dance.

Here's a little ditty that goes out to Julie,

dedicated by the Nixer.

"Let me put your head on my wall"

by Hasil Adkins.

Excuse me, Donna.

Fucker!

Fuck!

Come here! Shit!

God dammit!

See you in the funny papers.

Fuck you, dude!

Are you satisfied?

Watch your feet.

I'm sorry, Donna.

I'll make it up to you, I promise.

Right. I'm gonna get you for this!

Hey.

Hey.

What?

What'd I tell you?

What did I tell you?

I got caught off guard, is all.

Yeah?

Well, you got a problem, mister.

Now, you wanna be a man, you better take care of it.

And don't you look to me for help.

I'll take care of it.

Yeah?

The only thing you're taking care of

is looking like a goddamn fool.

I have never looked like a fool.

Never!

Now, you get that tough-guy attitude of his going,

and when he's all bent out of shape,

you knock the living shit out of him!

Didn't I teach you nothing?

And if I catch you doing this in public again,

so help me, I will bust you.

I will bust you like you was anybody.

You hear me?

Try not to make me look like I got a fool for a son.

Just be a man.

I'll show you who the fool is.

Shit.

They never play anything good on this damn radio.

I have an idea.

Here, you play something.

Well, you don't like the kind of music I play.

Just play something.

Why don't you play in a band?

Nah, I don't like what most bands play.

Well, there must be someone you look up to.

I don't look up to anybody.

Anybody?

Nobody.

Nobody?

Link Wray's cool.

Link Wray?

Is he popular?

No. That's why he's cool.

If he was so good, he would be popular, don't you think?

Bloody hell... Boy.

...what's good is popular and what's popular is good.

They can all kiss my ass.

What do you think you're doing, young lady?

Play something sweet.

This is sweet.

He ain't half bad.

He ain't shit.

If your daddy had seen that...

You hit me.

No, Siree.

When I hit you, you'll know it.

You think you're real funny, don't you?

He's a comedian, sarge.

You like wienies, don't you, sarge?

Have a bite of mine.

You know, I wouldn't talk that way if I was you.

Unless you want Donna's mom to find out

what you was doing up there at Murphy's point last night.

I've got nothing to hide, sir.

Is that right?

That's right.

Well, now, look at that.

Now, if you got nothing to hide, how come you scratched off

your last name?

Don't you know that's against the rules?

Ain't a name worth having.

Knock it off.

I'm gonna bust out crying in a minute.

You asked for it.

What's the matter, dude, was daddy mean to you?

Didn't show you enough love and affection?

I thought you boys was supposed to be sensitive

to the problems of today's troubled youths.

We are.

I'm sensitive.

But you, son, you are a lost cause, you know that?

Just like your daddy was.

See, you got all these funny ideas

about how things is supposed to be stirred up, you know?

Now, I ran his ass out of town

with his tail between his legs.

You keep that shit up,

I'm gonna see to it that history repeats itself.

Take care of yourself, dude Delaney.

I'll hang onto this for the bumper.

I'm telling you, Johnny, this is not gonna work

without a lead guitarist.

Who's gonna play guitar?

I'll tell you who's gonna play guitar.

I'm gonna play guitar.

But you gotta play sax.

I'm gonna play saxophone, too.

Got a problem with that?

That's the bottle talking, Johnny.

You ready, Tommy? You bet.

Ok, man.

Don't drag it, man.

Lay off, Johnny.

Ok, man. Hit it.

Ok, so Nixer says to me, "come on, babe.

You know I'm good for |t."

He's so weird.

Tell me about it. He's there every night, you know?

He expects me to give him free tickets or something.

Right.

Well, well, well!

Ain't you a little north of the border, Senorita?

Hey, where's your squeeze?

That ain't her standing next to you, is it?

It's a chihuahua and a giraffe!

I think we'll be making a pit stop right about here.

Yeah!

I don't get it.

If she's a Mexican,

why is it her mommy and daddy are white?

Were they having a sale in ol' Mexico?

You son of a bitch.

My, my, my.

I think I'm in love with the frito pie.

This is fucked, man.

Tommy, you got any suggestions?

I'm just a drummer, Johnny.

All right, all right.

It's not gonna work, man. This is fucked!

All right, kick it off. Pick it up, man.

Double time this time.

How'd you fare with that little number the other night?

I got the muff punt.

Should've at least tea bagged her.

"Tea bag her"?

What's that?

It's when you drop one of your nads in and out her mouth.

I need to talk to you, dude.

Show me that again.

Do you want to go see a movie tonight?

No. I have to study tonight.

Man, quit that studying crap.

Come see a movie with me.

Why don't you take him.

He'll appreciate it more.

Come on, dude, I really need to talk to you.

Come on, I want to see this... Shit. Teddy's here.

What's he want?

I sure enjoyed our walk in the park, Donna.

I was trying to tell you.

He do something to you?

I got an idea.

Promise me you won't do anything.

What'd he do?

We'll have a party.

What'd he do?

Donna here, she can be the pinata.

He...

He kind of kissed me.

That way everybody can get a whack.

Do you have your bb gun with you, dude?

Please don't do anything stupid, ok?

He's just trying to piss you off.

Dude?

Dude?

If you do anything stupid, I'm gonna leave.

I'll see you later, Donna, ok?

Come on, dude.

It's not like there ain't enough of her to go around.

What's the matter, baby?

Was it good?

Never mind what I said, dude.

You want a tamale with that check?

Evening, J.T.

Sarge.

How much I owe you, J.T.?

Thanks, J.T.

J.T., don't be giving that punk no special treatment, now.

This here's a business.

Now, you run it like a business,

or you're gonna be out of business

faster than you can spell "health department."

Feeding people's my business, sarge,

and keeping the punks in line is your business.

So why don't we just mind our own business,

what do you say?

You tell him, J.T.

You shut up.

All right.

Hey.

You got a minute?

Yeah, sure.

Well, I know this may seem a little out of the blue,

but I just want to say, I like what you do.

Thanks.

How'd you do it?

Do what now?

How'd you... I mean, the world's not really accommodating

to people who want to do things differently.

I just started playing, stuck with it.

No big deal.

Smoke?

Sure.

Shit.

Look here, J.T.

From here to eternity is the time before I was born.

And from here to eternity is the time after I die.

This... Is the only time I get...

To do it.

You ain't doing nothing.

You're gonna spend the rest of your days

right here in this little town.

And you're gonna die here.

With one of my burgers in your hand.

And that's it.

Here's a shot in the dark for you.

My band's run into some good luck and some bad luck.

We've been picked up by a record company,

and they're gonna put us gut on tour.

What's the good luck?

That is the good luck.

Yeah, well, what's the bad luck?

Our lead guitarist quit.

Why?

Timing wasn't right or some kind of shit like that.

Did you say you play?

Well, if you think you could be of help,

you should come down and try out.

If it works out, you could be out on tour with us.

Money's pretty heavy, too.

Is it enough for two people to survive on?

Yeah.

You know, I bet you do what you do

because you know they're all full of shit.

Yeah.

I am shit-sick of all this sock-hop crap.

You know, I want to make some music

that scares the hell out of people.

Yeah, I hear you.

You know, that train

came through town for me a long time ago,

and I wasn't on it.

This time, it ain't leaving without me.

Our last gig's two nights from now at 9:00.

Be there if you think you can fill the slot.

Well, all right.

Thank you.

Damn... record contract.

On the road.

Leaving all this behind.

I'd never get a break like that.

Girls... women.

Fame and fortune.

Yeah, just don't mention anything to Donna.

It hasn't happened yet.

She might jinx it.

No. I just don't want her getting all keen on the idea

and then having it not happen.

You know... If you need a manager or some,

you know, somebody to look after you,

if I got nothing else going on...

Shit, boy, I ain't gonna leave without you.

You wanna go see that movie tonight?

Can't.

Is that for Donna?

Cool.

Are you sure you wanna be going out with someone like dude?

Yes.

You know, his father just up and left them,

and we're afraid that he'll do the same thing.

Donna, we're just thinking about your future.

It's what good parents do.

And with no one to guide him,

we're just afraid that he won't amount

to what it is you really want in a man.

I know things about dude

that none of your catholic friends could tell you.

Like what?

Like he's a talented musician.

He's gonna be in a band.

He's gonna get a record contract

and make obscene amounts of money.

Well, if that happens, you have our blessing.

I thought I would.

But if it doesn't, I want you to be prepared

to find other options.

This fits you so well.

Yeah.

All over.

I'll be sure to get her back as late as I can.

This thing skips a lot, doesn't it?

I mean, it's a great idea,

but it skips every time we go over a bump.

So, what are we doing tonight?

Anything you want, Donna.

I owe you that much.

I want to go... To the movies.

You want to see a movie with me?

Anything for my Dudey.

Well, what do you want to see?

Thanks, Donna.

Hey.

Hey.

How many times you seen this flick?

15.

Suddenly, while you're asleep,

they'll absorb your minds, your memories,

and you're reborn into an untroubled world.

Where everyone's the same.

Exactly.

What a world.

We can't make it without sleep.

Yes, we can.

I went to sleep, miles, and it happened.

No.

A moment's sleep, and the girl I loved

was an inhuman enemy bent on my destruction.

Run!

You fools! You're in danger!

Can't you see?

They're after all of us! They're here already!

You're next!

You're next!

You're next! You're next!

How come you never told me your father left?

You never tell me anything.

There's nothing you need to know about me

I haven't told you a thousand times.

Well, just tell me about your dad.

There's only one thing I got from my dad.

What's that?

Trust me. You don't want to hear it.

Rumble... at the playground, tonight, 9:00.

Under the monkey bars, Teddy?

I know you'll be there.

I'd love to play Jacks with you, Teddy,

but I got a real date.

Then it's settled. Break your date.

I'll break you later, Teddy, not tonight.

Who's the hot broad you can't break a date with?

I'm sure it's not this tramp you run with...

dirty Mexican tramp.

Here we go again.

You like music, don't you?

That means "cockroach," don't it, Donna?

Did you know you're fucking a cockroach?

You leave her out of this.

Why?

You torched my girlfriend's hair, you asshole.

You think I'm going to let you get away with it?

Fuck off.

Tonight.

9:00.

9:00.

I know you'll be there.

You guys play a little rough, don't you think?

What was that all about?

Teddy wants to dance.

Well, I thought he was a cop.

Yeah. He... he's the cup, but...

You just don't get it. They couldn't trust no one.

The whole town was overtaken.

How the hell is he supposed to get the truth out

when there's no one to get it to?

Shit.

He couldn't even trust his lady.

When did he find out that she was one of them?

When he kissed her.

Ain't that when you always find out?

When it's too late.

They do that... girls do.

Now, you guys listen to me.

I've been around here a lot longer than you have.

You think I grew up dreaming about flipping burgers

for losers like you?

You got to know what to do with yourself.

And most importantly, when...

Because timing is everything.

Else you find out, like the guy in the movie,

it's too fucking late.

Let me ask you something.

What do you think it looks like around here

when the sarge's own son is the town fool?

Well, I'll tell you what it looks like.

People get to thinking they can mess with the rules,

you know?

My rules.

And all because you can't seem to deal with

one lousy, stinking little punk.

I told you I will.

Yeah? How?

I set him up fora rumble-tonight.

I got the boys ready in case he pulls any tricks.

The whole town knows he's a hood.

It ain't like there's a whole hell of a lot

you can do to fuck this up.

Listen... I ain't doing this because of some beef

you had with his dad a long time ago.

All right?

I'm gonna kick dude's ass for my own reasons.

You know, son, if excuses was worth a cent,

you'd be a silver fucking dollar.

Just be sure to put this in his dead hand, would you?

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?

The shadow knows.

Dudey.

Hey, baby, what are you doing here?

Come here. I need to talk to you.

What's wrong?

Sit down.

You know that band you like so much?

They're looking for a new guitar player.

Yeah, I think I heard that somewhere.

This is our chance.

How do you figure?

They just got a record contract,

and they're just your style.

They don't play nothing sweet.

Well, I got my mama to think about.

You know, if you wanted me to go somewhere,

you'd ask me to leave my parents.

Yeah, well, that's different.

They're not your real parents, not flesh and blood.

Don't go to the rumble tonight, dude. Please?

Come to the club.

Show them what you can do.

It'll be worth a try.

We'll never get a chance like this again.

Please?

Promise me you'll meet me there.

Please?

I promise.

You ready to tear it up?

Yeah.

All right.

Teddy's gone too far.

I'm talking about the club.

I'm talking about the rumble.

You didn't listen to a thing J.T. said, did you?

Yeah.

Very profound guy.

Man.

Fuck the rumble.

This is our chance to get out of here.

Why do you want to throw that away on Teddy leather?

My daddy never faced anything in his whole sorry life.

All he ever did was run.

Well, I ain't gonna run.

Not from Teddy, not from his crooked father,

not from anybody.

You got your brass knuckles?

Yeah.

You think he's going to show?

I just hope he brings that Donna with him.

You know how I like a fair fight.

Shitheads, back off.

He's all mine.

You ain't exactly been kicking ass lately, Teddy.

You want to test drive that last comment?

I just mean... He's been making you look like a fuck-up.

He's just been lucky.

With my sister's hair?

So, what are you going to do to him, Teddy?

You going to beat his face like a bloody raw hamburger?

Yeah.

That and a whole lot more.

I may be a walking sideshow,

but at least I don't get in no trouble.

People don't want nothing to do with you.

That's just what I want.

It keeps them away from me.

You see, dude, they force me to be this way.

And they force you... throw me one of those, dude.

You couldn't catch a crab in a whorehouse.

All right.

Hey.

Sorry, dude.

That's all right.

What... dude?

Get away from that...

Shit!

That's... Loud!

He's got us looking like a bunch of melon heads

sitting around here.

He ain't gonna show.

Hey, where you going?

If he's too chicken to come to us, we'll go to him.

I like it when you play out of tune.

It's 10:45.

I know you hate this town.

I know you hate Teddy.

I do, too.

But I also know you love your music.

So fight for what you love, not for what you hate.

So, what are you going to do?

Go to the club... And kick some ass.

You want a ride?

Hey! Hey!

They got a record player in here!

They're faking it!

They're faking it!

Son of a bitch!

Playing a bunch of crap. Sold out.

Music, dude. That's all it was... just music.

Shit on a stick.

You didn't have to do that, you know.

That was our chance, and you fucked it up,

just like you always do.

You're very selfish, dude.

You don't give a damn about my dreams.

Those are my dreams, Donna, not yours.

Catch a ride with the tide.

Stupid jackass.

Your father's really going to kick

your monkey ass now, Teddy.

Teddy.

Yeah?

Well, here he is.

Goddamn chickenshit.

Before this gets out of hand...

Let's start this off right.

Fuck you and that chickenshit bb gun!

But do you think I should get her the candy?

Because she's kind of heavy.

I think the petunias will suffice.

Maybe... mustard?

Do what, now?

You want the chili dog with mustard or without it?

Slathered on. Sarge loves mustard.

Get in the fucking car.

We're rolling.

I thought you wanted the food.

Get in the fucking car now!

Move, goddamn it!

Where you going, dude?

Looking for Donna.

There was some trouble with Teddy leather.

The word is, he's dead.

Take me with you, dude.

Time for you to start chasing your own tail.

What am I going to do here?

If I'm not around some kind of hell-raising, I go crazy.

You have more fun watching it than I have doing it.

So, what you going to do?

Live out in the alleys with all the trash.

People throw a lot of good things away.

Fucking freak.

What are you doing, dude?

Let's just say I don't think we'll be doing

any more roller-skating, Donna.

I want to help.

I don't think it can be helped.

Guess I never really thought of myself as a problem.

I can't go with you, dude.

That's all right.

You're better off without me anyway.

Where's that leave me?

A fading image in my rear-view mirror.

Faster! Son of a bitch!

Catch that son of a bitch!

Goddamn it!

You ain't going to get away from me this time!

We're ending him.

Right now. Right now.

I should've fucked that kid up a long time ago.

I should've never punched a hole in that rubber.

Watch it!

Get the bugs off me.

A little bit of hair on your left.

On your left side, your left side.

That's it.

There's one loose... one again.

Sometimes you just can't be as cool as you think you are.

Donna.

Vamonos.

Coming, Nixer?

Dude.

Go on.

I'd just like to sit here for a little while.

Well, all right. Take it easy.

You enjoy it?

Do what, now?

You enjoy the film?

Shit, yeah.

I'm here every night.

You seen it before?

I guess you could say that.

We harden our hearts, become callous.

Only when we have to fight to stay human do we realize

how precious it is.

Fight to stay human?

Is that what it's all about?

I don't know.

Say, I never seen you around here before.

What'd you say your name was?

I didn't say.

I guess you could call me...

Miles.

Well, thanks a lot, mile... s.
